Confidence comes from action
Few people are totally comfortable with having their photographs taken. There’s a perceived lack of confidence that erodes our impulses to do stuff, make stuff, and share things. During the course of the pandemic, increased use of social media, and the incredible stresses we’ve been under, it’s no wonder so many people are finding it hard to consistently show up online. But if you’re a creative, an artist, or a small business owner then you know how key it is to share behind the brand and win the prospective trust of your audiences.
It’s easy to assume once we have stuff in place we’ll feel more confident. But actually, it comes from you. You’ve got it all. Already. Maybe you could take tentative baby steps on Instagram stories and turn that into a quick reel, or update your online with natural, relaxed portraits.
